Hirshbetp Graduate Counselor Tuesday, April 14, 1942 Behind The Eight-Ball After great deliberation, the College adminis tration decided that Penn State would launch the accelerated three-semester plan. That was sev eral months ago. At the time, College officials were dubious—decidedly dubious—about adopt ing the Summer semester. In addition to calling for an increased budget, the new plan would require many other changes that would entail a great amount of added effort on the part of the entire administration. Over looking all these disadvantages, the College fin ally decided in favor of popular opinion. Penn /State was going to do its share for Uncle Sam -despite the g»eat risk. As a result, the College inaugurated "the three-semester plan, which will enable most students to complete their education ' before being called into the armed services. . . The new system will not only b|e of benefit in respect to the draft status of 'ktudents, but it will also enable . engineering students to....graduate ■Tlobrier and to' take their place in vital: defense .industries,:where a serious shortage, of technical ly-trained, rrien is now threatening. I '.From-all outward appearances, the- new plan 'would seem flawless. But a serious crisis has arisen. Although many students fail to realize it, Penn State has a big problem on its hands, arid the administration will be the first to verify this. There is definite reason to believe that the en rollment will decline sharply for the Summer semester. To make matters even worse, the in coming freshman enrollment presents a very . doubtful situation and for the first time in more than 2fl years, Penn State is resting on uncertain ' ground. The problem can be solved and.several ideas are already getting serious consideration. One of the best plans would set aside a high school weekend on April 25, when every student on campus would go “all-out” to sell Penn State ■to visiting high school students. In addition to Spring sport events, Penn State will stage the annual All-College Circus, which will offer an evening of all-around attractions to visitors. *- J ' . Unless the high school students are here for ; the weekend, however, there can be little bene fit realized from the plan: The annual high school press conference will attract a large num ber of potential freshmen, * but many more must i'be brought in by fraternities and other social • groups Fraternities should jump at this opportunity to entertain visitors, since the houses iwill also ! be able to find many prospective rushees among the high school graduates. But fraternities must look at the situation from a broader viewpoint this year. In the past, each house put all its tef fort behind selling itself, but now they must get behind a mass movement to sell Penn State. Independent students can also do their part by entertEiining several visitors. It is an assumption that merchants will eo- operate by decorating their show windows with , displays which will show what Penn State has ■ achieved in sports, in scholarship, in science, and . ;;aiy other phase ol' activity that will help to sell ■ the College. No longer can we be subtle about this matter. Some one is bound to say that we are being too blunt and that 1 we are clearly forcing Penn State on the visiting high school students. These are critical times, however, and more ■ serious measures must Mp takfen. Here is a " challenge for student government and other cam pus leaders. Penn State is sliding behind the proverbial eight-ball, and everyone can help. Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Phone 4372 ; Louis H.

We may do a lot of paddling dh -hot water but we’ll only be aiming to cool the rabid curiosity of the local collegians and to satisfy the ego of the “1-wanna-see-my-name-m-print” hot dogs. Beer Brewings In the deep, dark recesses of Doggie’s Air-Raid shelter this weekend we stumbled upon. LaVie Editor Joe Reichwein making the startling. pre diction that ‘the yearbook would be out May 2.

Somewhere along the way she hap pened to glance out the window ar.d saw the gasoline streaming out of one of the tanks at the spot where the exhaust is on . three motored planes. Miss Anderson declared that she had. always heard that ‘one’s life flows by in one’s last moments. Hers didn’t come hack to her right then, so she was sure she was’safe.
